Abstract

In the 1950s, the gangster movie and film noir crisscrossed to create gangster noir. Robert Miklitsch takes readers into this fascinating subgenre of films focused on crime syndicates, crooked cops, and capers. With the Senate's organised crime hearings and the brighter-than-bright myth of the American Dream as a backdrop, Miklitsch examines the style and history, and the production and cultural politics, of classic pictures from The Big Heat and The Asphalt Jungle to lesser-known gems like 711 Ocean Drive and post-Fifties movies like Ocean's Eleven. Miklitsch pays particular attention to trademark leitmotifs including the individual versus the collective, the family as a locus of dissension and rapport, the real-world roots of the heist picture, and the syndicate as an octopus with its tentacles deep into law enforcement, corporate America, and government.

Abstract

'City of Big Shoulders' links key events in Chicago's development, from its marshy origins in the 1600s to today's robust metropolis. Robert G. Spinney presents Chicago in terms of the people whose lives made the city-from the tycoons and the politicians to the hundreds of thousands of immigrants from all over the world. In this revised and updated second edition that brings Chicago's story into the 21st century, Spinney sweeps his historian's gaze across the colourful and dramatic panorama of the city's explosive past. How did the pungent swamplands that the Native Americans called 'the wild-garlic place' burgeon into one of the world's largest and most sophisticated cities? What is the real story behind the Great Chicago Fire? What aspects of American industry exploded with the bomb in Haymarket Square? Could the gritty blue-collar hometown of Al Capone become a visionary global city?

Abstract

De bekroonde onderzoeksjournalist Tom Burgis onthult in Kleptopia een angstaanjagend wereldwijd web van financiële criminaliteit. Hij volgt het geld dat de wereldeconomie overspoelt, dictators aanmoedigt en democratieën vergiftigt: van het Kremlin tot Beijing, en van het Midden-Oosten tot het Witte Huis. Burgis komt tot een sinistere conclusie: de criminelen verenigen zich.Door de jaren heen komt er soms een glimp van deze schimmige wereld naar boven: een lichaam in een uitgebrande Audi, arbeiders doorzeefd met kogels in de Kazachse woestijn, een vervalste verkiezing in Zimbabwe? Kleptopia biedt een schokkende inkijk in een wereld van corruptie, belastingontduiking, spionage, schimmige tussenfiguren en vooral machtswellust.Bron: www.standaardboekhandel.be
